Mel Gibson. It’s the measure of a man’s charm when you can behave as badly as he has and still be quite so popular. On the one alleged hand you have alleged infidelity, alleged domestic abuse, alleged anti-semitism, alleged alcoholism, and the first mainstream S&M film to claim the moral high ground.
On the other hand you have Mad Max 2 and drunkenly calling a cop ‘sugar tits’, which whilst being morally repugnant, was comedically pleasing.
Go on admit it. You’d like a call a policewoman ‘sugar tits’ wouldn’t you? Consequences and a century of feminist progression be damned! Read More >>>
The Golden Globes took place last night, and over the course of the evening there was a little something for everyone.
Like being told what stuff to enjoy? Then you’ll be pleased to know that Avatar, The Hangover, Robert Downey Jr, Meryl Streep and Glee all won awards. Like the old Golden Globes traditions? Then you’ll be pleased to know that the camera kept cutting to Jack Nicholson‘s face, even though he continues his slow transformation into a rascally sphere of pulsating cholesterol.
And then there was the Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais. If you like Ricky Gervais, you’ll be pleased to know that his performance was nothing short of a comic masterclass. Don’t like Ricky Gervais? Then you’ll be pleased to know that he was absolutely rubbish. Apparently.

Winners and losers.
Folded:
- The Hangover (out now on DVD and funnier than a dog with no legs)
- Be original; buy a BlackBerry (get the different one)
- The Thick of It (so many put downs you’ll wish you were back at school)
- Eggnog latte (from Starbucks where the staff are a hell of a lot nicer than the customers)
- Hair wax (shiny)

If we had to describe I Know Who Killed Me in one word, that word would be ‘potential’.
And Georgia Rule? ‘Potential’. And, dear sweet baby Jesus, Labor Pains? That thing very obviously had potential coming out of its arse. But The Hangover, the biggest comedy movie of the summer that’s so far taken over $270 million worldwide and has reignited Heather Graham‘s previously-dormant career? Ugh. That thing’s got zero potential. It’s the anti-potential. It repels potential.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wonderful world of Lindsay Lohan‘s genuinely demented thought processes. Don’t stay here too long – it’s terrifying.

Wow. What a year for comedy it’s been. Arguably one of the most successful weekend box office movies of the summer has been The Hangover.
What’s more, there have been guaranteed blockbusters like Land Of The Lost and, um… oh, alright, it hasn’t been much of year for comedy at the weekend box office. Shut up. However, this weekend two comedy heavyweights went up against each other in direct box office competition – Year One and The Proposal. Who won? It’s a secret.
Oh alright, The Proposal did. But only because it was marginally less rubbish than Year One. Shut up.

Right, first an admission. The Hangover is the top movie at the weekend box office this week. That’s not the admission.
The admission is that The Hangover was also the top movie at the weekend box office last week as well. But we said that it was beaten by Up because the numbers were quite close and nobody worked it out properly for a few days. So sorry.
Anyway, The Hangover is the top movie at the US weekend box office this week. Unless there’s been another mistake and really it’s Up. Or Drag Me To Hell. Or ET. Whatever.
